That may be so but I suspect very few actually look at Cochrane reviews. The great majority will look at government guidelines. If Wikipedia is...
I am not sure it matters any more. All the people to whom the review is relevant are now well aware that a lot of people think it is incompetent....
I am afraid I will be at a conference in Glasgow on arthritis then but I am planning to get to NZ one of these days.
Interesting proposal - where did you find it may I ask? @Lisa108
It is interesting that this article is written by a trainee - a fellow, or in the UK a registrar. How does he know so much about what is wrong...
I assume this is all a response from the NICE data gatherers. My impression was that they are taking things seriously. It is so easy for good...
Cochrane need to understand that all trials of this sort are worthless. Cochrane clearly does not understand that. Until it does its opinion also...
Lots but it depends on the dose. It kills a lot of B cells at low dose but they may well be the ones due to die anyway. It kills some T cells but...

The serendipitous improvement of lymphoma patients with ME on immunoablative therapies suggested that some cases might be autoimmune or perhaps...
Better tests would be good but we always have to work with what we have. My experience of PSA is that an intelligent interpretation makes it a...
Matching a nausea-inducing placebo would not be convincing in my view. The only way to address this sort of problem is to do a dose response...
One might say 'psychiatrist, heal thyself'.
Why would one trust units that get their income and academic kudos out of doing trials?
The changes are smaller than in PACE but it is worth remembering that the changes in PACE were small (maybe three times the changes here but still...
It's an old ruse, used by a boss of mine in the 1970s. If patients answer the questionnaires right they stay on the consultant's clinic list....
In fact it probably took control of the bias rather well!!
I agree that that is possible. I guess that normally with intention to treat if someone drops out of a treatment they get a null score of some...
I think you may be misunderstanding. If they are counted as having received LP and they did not get brainwashed into saying they were better they...
The point of intention to treat analysis is that inflation is worse if you cut these people out because you then average just over the ones who...
Separate names with a comma.
